Coinbase Adds GIGA and TURBO To Its Asset Roadmap, Way For Future Listings?

The post Coinbase Adds GIGA and TURBO To Its Asset Roadmap, Way For Future Listings? appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

In a latest development, Coinbase has announced the addition of Gigachad and Turbo to its coin listing roadmap, signaling potential future listings on the exchange. This move reflects Coinbase’s ongoing strategy of embracing various cryptocurrencies, including niche and meme-based tokens.

Gigachad and Turbo are both considered part of the meme coin category, that are often driven by internet culture and community enthusiasm rather than technical utility. Gigachad (GIGA) is a meme coin inspired by the image of “Gigachad”. Turbo (TURBO) is an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum blockchain. While, Turbo is a memecoin created using ChatGPT.

Coinbase’s asset roadmap indicates cryptocurrencies being considered for inclusion. Although being on the roadmap doesn’t guarantee immediate listing, it is a crucial step towards broader accessibility. 

Last month, Coinbase onboarded PEPE and FLOKI to its trading platform. Earlier this week, Coinbase added TikTok-inspired meme coin Moo Deng (MOODENG) to its listing roadmap, expanding its cryptocurrency offerings during Q4 2024. The price of Moo Deng (MOODENG) surged 80% within an hour after Coinbase announced its plans to list the token.

Notably, If GIGA and TURBO are fully listed, they will join other meme coins like Dogecoin and Shiba Inu that have already found a place on Coinbase.
